I'm hoping this will clean up nicely so it can get a proper professional honing and help me foray into SR shaving ...
    You worry to much my friend that Boker is authentic and they are wonderful shavers as well! Enjoy!

    I too have a Boker that I can't exactly tell what vintage it is. Does anyone know when Boker made the "unrivalled" razor? I'm thinking 1930's but I could be wrong

    You're right Martin... I am really looking forward to getting this razor, and seeing if I can get it looking good as new. I have a few vintage motorcycles and love bringing them back to being pretty, this will give me something to buff and polish in the off season

    jpcwon .... There might be a lot of great info in the Boker Brotherhood thread too. Maybe see if you can find a similar razor to yours there? On Page 12, Doc posted a copy of the catalog that he received from Boker. I know it doesn't cover our years (because apparently most of Boker's records were destroyed in the fire), but a neat thing to flip through and learn about the different models. And they had plenty

    Yeah, that is the pan from Hell. LOL

    It's languishing at the moment. Maybe one of these days, I'll get interested in getting it going again.
